St Peter’s Cathedral: Worth Celebrating

For the past few weeks we have been using this slogan in preparation for today, Pentecost Sunday. As I have met with you and listened to you speak, with great affection and pride, about your Cathedral, I have been struck at just how much there is worth celebrating. Among the many things is the generosity of those who have gone before us, the ‘former generations’. Week by week we are reminded of them in the “Year’s mind” section of our prayers.

Today is not so much about former generations as future generations and, particularly, the way in which you and I can make sure there is a cathedral worth celebrating. Today our focus is on Dedicated Living and Giving. Today we place on the altar our pledge cards (received in the mail or collected from the entrance to the Cathedral), a simple sign of our dedication to God: generous, sacrificial and joyful.

Tonight Archbishop Jeffrey offers the third of four in his preaching series entitled “To the ends of the Earth: Luke Acts for Today.”

As the bright intoxicating energy of the Holy Spirit falls on us may we be led into all truth, confess that Christ is Lord and proclaim the wonderful works of Christ.

Welcome to all of God’s spirit-filled people who worship today.

You are warmly invited to join us as we seek to follow the God who loves us and calls us to abundant life. 

The Cathedral and its community

The Cathedral building is a landmark in the City of Adelaide, an important part of the city’s heritage. However, the Cathedral is much more than a beautiful historic building. It is also the mother church of the Anglican Diocese of Adelaide and home to a dynamic and inclusive sacramental community, which cherishes excellent liturgy, music and preaching

The Cathedral community values diversity and intellectual freedom. It includes people who travel from all over Adelaide to share in Cathedral life. We are all ages, from babies to octogenarians, and from many different backgrounds. We seek to grow in faith, to reflect God’s beauty and grace in our life together and to serve the wider community. As you will see from this website, all sorts of activities take place in Cathedral life.
